In some ways, St. Susanna Parish’s nativity scene looks just like many others: Onlookers gather to witness baby Jesus’ birth, animals crowd around the straw-covered manger, and the infant lies in the folds of Mary’s dress.

But in this version, the baby Jesus is trapped in a cage, and the three wise men are off to the side and separated by a fence marked “deportation.” Hanging above the display is a sign that reads, “Peace on Earth?”

“It doesn’t seem to be the message of the person whose birth we celebrate,” Father Steve Josoma said, according to WCVB. “Is this peace on Earth?” Is this what it would look like?”

The idea for the display came from the Pax Christi group within the church, whose aim is “to educate the community on matters related to peace and justice issues including war, torture, the environmental degradation of our world, and human rights and to bear witness to the hope of the gospel by bringing prayerful attention and courageous, loving resistance to those things that are disharmonious with God’s Kin-dom,” according to the parish website.

“It just makes the point that this would be unacceptable to Jesus,” parishioner Pat Ferrone said, according to WCVB.

It’s the second year the church has courted controversy with its nativity display. In 2017, the nativity scene featured signs showing the locations and death tolls of mass shootings across the country, WBZ reported. Across the top of the display was a quote from the Gospel of Luke, “If only you knew the things that make for peace.”

“We thought we would kind of put a mirror image of what it would look like if this happened 2,000 years ago,” Josoma said, according to the paper. “It’s kind of a mirror image of where we are at today.”

“Sixty-five million refugees worldwide seeking a better way of life and we were wondering what that might look like 2,000 years ago if this family encountered the same dynamics that are taking place in our country right now,” Josoma said, according to the station.

“It’s hard to say we are a people of peace when we are sending soldiers with tear gas to stop people,” Josoma said, according to the Boston Globe.

Reactions to the display have been mixed, with some saying they appreciated the idea and others wanting politics kept out of the nativity, Boston 25 reported. “The folks here seem to appreciate it,” said Josoma, according to the station.

“That was a low point for me, as well. I feel very strongly about that,” Trump, a White House adviser, said at an Axios event in Washington. She also said she didn't consider the media an enemy of the people.
